The Resetting Thread

I'm beginning to think of starting a new town on January 1, 2015. I do somewhat miss playing, actually, but at the same time, my current town is a complete, total and utter mess and I simply don't have the energy to try and fix it. So a new town might be a good idea.

I'm not exactly looking forward to finding a map, though, because I know how hard it can be to find one you really like. But mostly I'm not looking forward to all the tutorials and what not; I really wish we could just skip those.

Anyway, nothing is decided yet. A close friend of mine is planning on getting a 3DS and AC:NL but it won't be soon, so I might end up waiting until she gets her copy and we can then play together.
 
i am so dry out to align muffy house with the rest . tried for 1 day . i only get him close to my villager 3 time !
 
Whoo glad i saw this thread, i was just about to make a new one about this very topic.

So im considering resetting my village. Ive got allmost all of Mainstreat unlocked (Missing the fortune teller and the last shop upgrade) I have all the major public works projects built all the silver tools Lots of progress on my museum.

Thers just one problem, I hate my town layout.

The river comes in at the top left takes a right turn about 1/3rd of the way across goes down to about the last third of the landmass takes a left into the lake about halfway across the map and then goes straight down into the ocean. To me it just seems dull and boring compared to the crazy rivers ive seen some villages have.
It also dose not help that I built my home right next to Retail.
Overall one half of my village has almost all the houses but it seems featureless since the river is nowhere nearby. The other half seems devoid of population since all it has is the river and two homes.

Ive got plenty of spare time to restart so that's not a problem, I just cant tell if im going to get bored with a newer layout.

Edit: Well i went and did it anyway. It must be fate because the local fruit is peaches (the onyl fruit i didnt have in my old town), i start with one perfect peach. Isabella gave me cherries (my old native fruit) from her "home town) and one of my old villagers moved in on day 1.

My only regret, is that i have to catch a bee again.

I just stared my new town after a reset and I can't believe my luck!

First time trying and I got a perfect map

Then got my dream fruit, peaches!!

Then the next day guess who moved in!? My all time dreamie MARSHAL!!!

I am crying with joy right now!

When I saw his house I screamed so loud my parents ran in my room and yelled "are you dying or something!?" XD

I honesty have no idea if I should reset my town.. I mean It was almost finished, but from lack of being able to play and such 3 different dreamies have moved out. :/ I like my town a little bit, but not as much as I feel I should or as much as I want to.
Also I have 2 main towns and one is a work in progress so there's that. But ya know..... It's hard to work on tow towns at once so/....... :lemon:

Decided to reset my cycle town to use the game card as a second town. 10 minutes of resetting and Rover gives me a perfect town map. Except I walk around and see it's got pears as the native fruit. Darned pears!!! I can't stand how the perfect ones look like (they look... rotten and worse than the normal ones) so even though I liked everything else I ended up resetting and now I'm back to searching. I wish I weren't so picky about this stuff...
 
Guys... I'm back again. *sigh*

I really thought I wouldn't want to restart again (part of me still doesn't) but here I am. Long story short, I haven't been able to play normally since I started the town because I've been villager plot resetting for dreamies. This morning I settled on a dreamie in a place I'm really not happy with (Whyy do villagers have to move in bedside/in front of your house????). I loaded my mayors save file and lost all motivation to play... Weeds were everywhere and my approval rating had dropped right down again. I thought my other two dreamies plots were decent but looking back I don't know what I was thinking. I do really like my map but it's so similar to ones I've had in the past that I'm starting to think I'll get bored of it fairly quickly. Honestly I'm thinking of just giving up on the game entirely. I'm too busy at college right now to be obsessively plot resetting/collecting bells but I miss the fun day to day antics of the game... Ugh I don't know what to do...

Edit: I gave in. I really need to join resetters anonymous or something..

I'm getting the urge to reset again. I've had my town for over 6 months roughly and I do like the layout and where my house is.

But I'm just starting to get a bit bored of it. I've done nearly everything there is to do and I don't know how else to make it interesting again.

I don't time travel so I'm not doing that to spice it up. I can't re-landscape because there isn't any other logical way to place paths than the way I've already done it. I just don't know how else to put some life back into it!
 
For the sake of it, I am getting a huge urge to reset.

The problem is, I love my town layout, and I also especially love my towns fruit, but... I just dislike my character's looks. I know, silly, dumb, whatever, but I don't know.. It keeps annoying me big time. I also feel like I can't go to far. The town itself, has a LOT of rocks in the way that sometimes really annoy me, and I'm still trying to hit the best thing possible, I think I have missed important steps.

What should I do? I have my sister's game, where I can put everything that I want, but... .hmmm....
 
Still resetting, I keep changing my mind about the mayor/town names so I'm kind of scared of a good map popping up and me regretting the names I picked...

I want a map similar to the one I got yesterday except with a fruit different than pears, is that too much to ask for, game?
 
I decided to reset my town for the first time yesterday because I didn't really like my town anymore. I think I've resetted at least 10 times or so and I finally found a map that looks OK, and some good villagers (Freya and Stitches for example but no Fang or Julian qnq) to start with. This time my mayor is male-- idk why but I always feel weird being a female mayor?

One thing I'm not looking forward to is catching scorpions, tarantulas and bees again. //sobs
 
I decided not to get too picky this time around. I made three requirements - either apples/cherries/pears for the town fruit (I got pears), two lakes max and a simple river.

Usually I only go for towns with south facing waterfalls and ones with the plaza right beside the town hall but this time I didn't. I'm not sure if it's the best map in the world but there's plenty of room for PWPs and I quite like it. The town feels fresh and new and so far I'm really enjoying playing again. It helps that I got some pretty nice starting villagers - Skye (who I'm planning on keeping), Felicity, Genji, Valdimir and Portia. Since then Punchy and Julian have moved in too! :)

I am plot resetting a little but not to the same extent as I was before. I spend an hour max on it and so far I've been pretty lucky.

I really hope I keep this town for good because I think it has a lot of potential! :)
 
It's me again! I haven't been on in a while. I still don't have a town, though... I've been looking for a specific map, but whenever I've found it I've messed up the face. I'm going to try to be less picky now, though, and just look for apples or cherries, only one or two lakes/ponds and a river that leaves enough space. I hoped to find one for/by Halloween, but that's not happening! Hopefully I find one soon! :) x

all town fruit pears
 
I started my new town Rosebed on Halloween.
I kinda like the town map and it has Bonnie :D.
 
I reset my town today after having my old one since the game came out, and I really like it! Everything's feels fresh, and while I miss my old villagers, I stopped talking to them towards the end, and most of them were new anyway. I'm looking forward to taking things slow this time. I think what messed me up with my old town was all the trading and stuff I did online, not to mention plot resetting.

Good luck to everybody resetting their towns!
 
I am sooo close to start resetting my town! Hope I find a great town map.

Some of the things I hope to get:

- Fruit: Apples or Peaches
- Retail: either near the train station or near the docks
- Town Hall on top of the map
- Town Plaza in the center of the map or on the top half
- Town Hall and Train Station same roof color (but if it's not, it;s not a bother, it would just be awesome if it is)
- A isolated beach (so I can get on and off the beach in one line without having to run the same route to get off XD)
- A waterfall placed so I can fit my house next to it (in my old town, I had villager houses on either side of the sea-waterfall when I started; and no room to the river-start waterfall)

Wish me luck! :D
 
I feel like starting over!

I feel like I want a fresh start but Ill lose all my stuff and I don't want to do that so...
What should I do?
 
I did and don't regret, feel much more attached to my town now.

I had pretty much filled the museum, I had collected at least half of the must have sets like the balloons and the kids set, however I still don't regret it : )
